Which is the best life insurance company?** The answer depends on how you measure “best”—company size, assets, global ranking, or the amount of individual life insurance coverage provided.

In this video, we compare some of the biggest names in the life insurance industry and explain why different rankings can produce different No. 1 companies. Prudential Financial stands out as the largest U.S. life insurer by admitted assets, while China Life Insurance holds the top position globally under S&P Global’s life-insurer ranking methodology. We also look at Northwestern Mutual, which leads the U.S. market in individual life insurance protection in force.

In this comparison, you’ll learn:

* Why Prudential ranks No. 1 in the U.S. by admitted assets
* Why China Life ranks No. 1 globally under S&P Global’s methodology
* How Northwestern Mutual compares in individual life insurance coverage
* The difference between company size, financial strength, and coverage
* Why the best life insurance company can vary depending on your needs

Rather than relying on a single ranking, understanding the measurement behind it can help you make a more informed comparison of major life insurance companies.
